18% GST, if turnover exceed Rs 200000 then registration required
The mobile shop cannot afford to pay accounting fee to tax consultant and cannot keep a accountant to maintain/write sale bills, stock register, cash book, ledger book etc as they are get 1.75% to 2 % commission on recharge cards.
If they opt for composition they have to pay 1%. They get a small amount of commission between 1.75 to 2% so 50% income goes to government. So what is the ultimate solution for this type of business.
Please read 20,00,000 instead of 2,00,000 (you can claim ITC on your purchases for reduce tax liability)

can you suggest how GST is to be accounted from recharge distributor to small retailer when retailer is un-registered
